Scheduled Release - 07 September 2021
Integration:
MYOB AccountRight
Fixes issues exporting Categories to MYOB AccountRight.
General Release 4.5.12.2
Scheduled Release - 06 September 2021
Hotfix Release 4.5.12.2
Scheduled Release - 06 September 2021
Integration:
MYOB AccountRight
When using more than 400 GL accounts in MYOB AR, exports from Workbench to MYOB AR would sometimes fail with the error "GL Code is not found in MYOB database". This has been rectified.
MYOB Advanced
Some exports were being posted in MYOB Advanced with the wrong date (1 day before the real date). This was due to MYOB Advanced taking the dates exported by Workbench as DateTimeOffset, which meant that MYOB was removing 12hrs from the Workbench date. This has been rectified, and all dates are now handled in UTC format to avoid this issue.
Beta Release 4.5.12.1
Scheduled Release - 30 August 2021

Selecting the required token will insert it into the email template editor.
Feature Revisions
Job
Job Enquiry, Orders tab - The list filters are enhanced with 'Required Date' as applied to the PO line, and if not specified on the line then applied to the header.
Dockets and Daysheets
Daysheet, Timesheets tab -
The Work Centre default now implements the Activity Group’s Default WC Basis for the plant line.
The primary key error when creating multiple entries for the same person for the same day is rectified.
Purchasing
Purchase Order List - The list filters are enhanced with 'Required Date' that is applied to the PO header.
Voucher - The Voucher column on the PO Lines tab has been enhanced to include visibility of MDE originated vouchers still in progress to facilitate visibility for client in their transitional stage.
AP Invoice - The Docket Reconciliation popup now has a Schedule Type filter to filter for Docket Schedules or Contractor Schedules as required.
Subcontracts
Work Order - The outstanding values are now zeroed when a work order is cancelled to ensure it is not reflected as a commitment in the Job Enquiry or Forecasting.
Leave Management
Leave Approval - The leave approval process has been integrated into the My Approvals List so that the leave reviewer and approver will now see leave within this consolidated list of items to process rather than having to access the leave approval screen directly. This also mean any leave items in the My Approval List will be included into the Daily Reminder email if enabled.
...
Billing
Job Sales Invoice - A new setting ‘BCC AR Invoice Email’ is available at person level and listed emails will be BCC’ed on all AR Invoices sent. Note, this is functionally different to the setting 'BCC Email Sender'.
Quotes

Cost Sheet - A unused new line inadvertently created, usually by tabbing the last column, will now auto delete like the timesheet behaviour, rather that raising an error due to unfulfilled validations.

Datasheets

Administration
